Fun with the Bard
By KAROLINE TUCKEY
Playing up: Aotea College students
tried out medieval life for last Friday's
Shakespeare Day. Taking part were
English teacher Vicky Aldridge with
Rosy Barraclough, and Ryan White.
Taking a note from the Bard's book
for Shakespeare Day immersed
Aotea College's year 12s in medieval
play last week.
The annual themed fun day
launches them into Shakespeare
studies for the English curriculum.
We want to have a day that's
special for the year 12s, that's theirs,
and to learn about the history and
times,'' Aotea College head of Eng-
lish Avon Retter said.
The students dress up and take
part in medieval dance and calligra-
phy classes, as well as Shake-
spearean acting workshops and
assessments, and a class about some
of the social realities of Shake-
speare's day, such as a virtual tour of
a torture chamber.
We want to celebrate basically
the greatest writer in the English
language, and they embrace it and
we also have a banquet, and that's
always great fun,'' Ms Retter said.
It makes [Shakespeare] a bit
more alive, and they get to see their
teachers dress up, which is always
cause for hilarity.''
Student Ryan White chose a tar-
tan dressing gown, wig and toy
broadsword for a MacBeth role.
The bus driver looked at me a bit
strange.''
The day was a good chance to have
some fun, and it helps to get into his
time,'' he said.
First dates always
nerve-racking time
Date fate: Theo De Jong, 17, and Anna Thomson, 16,
will be part of the Aotea College cast depicting the
evolution of dating at the Wellington Stage Challenge
2011 this Thursday and Friday. The pair are cast as
a soldier and a nurse from the First World War.
By KAROLINE TUCKEY
TSB Arena in Wellington will be awash with
lights, music and dance this Thursday as hun-
dreds of performers take to the stage for the Wel-
lington Stage Challenge showdown.
Aotea and Tawa colleges will be among 18
colleges performing their own works of dance and
drama.
Jessica Gatward, 17, part of the Aotea team,
said more than 103 students had been working on
their entry since late last year.
It's been a big journey and it's coming together
really well, and we've become really close. It's
been a neat experience.''
The team's piece, The Evolution of Dating,
charts the changes in dating over time.
The main character starts off really nervous
going on a date, but the clock takes her back in
time and she realises dates always have their ups
and downs. The performance takes on arranged
marriages in the 1800s, love during wartime, and
women's rights in the 1980s.
It's more of a fun performance, but the audi-
ence relates to it because it's relevant for people
and for teenagers because everyone goes through
it at one stage of their life,'' says Gatward.
Bits of it are cheesy and some of it's quite
romantic. We just wanted to play it up and make
it more fun to watch.''
